The legal defense fund for Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, has amassed over $200,000 in donations.
The outpouring of support has raised alarms among law enforcement officials who fear the suspect is being idolized.
A crowdfunding campaign on GiveSendGo was launched by a group calling itself “The December 4th Legal Committee,” referencing the date of Thompson’s killing in Midtown Manhattan. Mangione is accused of ambushing and fatally shooting Thompson as he walked to a shareholders’ meeting.
The campaign claims to support Mangione’s “constitutional right to fair legal representation” and has attracted thousands of donors, many of whom left supportive messages.
